He Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been in the news in recent weeks due to the imminent departure of Lionel Messi, who came to the team in the 2021 summer transfer market, in the next summer transfer market. The French club would already be looking for the ideal replacement for him: Bernardo Silva.
The 28-year-old Portuguese player is currently a Manchester City midfielder. However, his stay in the English team would be coming to an end. City would have set Silva’s price at £80m, and PSG would be willing to pay that figure to have him in their ranks.
PSG finds the ideal replacement for Leo Messi
Silva, who had an outstanding performance in his time at AS Monaco, would once again share a team with Kylian Mbappé, his former teammate at the French club. In fact, it is said that it was Mbappé himself who demanded his signing to reinforce the team’s rotation. Although Silva is an important piece in coach Pep Guardiola’s scheme, the player wants to try himself in another competition. The Portuguese has to his credit five goals and seven assists in 49 games played in all competitions.
PSG have already shown in the past their ability to make impact signings, such as Neymar and Mbappé, and with Messi’s departure they would have a great need to reinforce their squad. Silva could be an ideal option for the team, as his versatility allows him to play in different midfield positions.
The Portuguese midfielder also has experience in international competitions, having participated in the Champions League and the Euro Cup with his national team. His passing ability and his vision of the game could be a great asset for PSG, which is looking to establish itself as one of the strongest teams in European football.
Silva’s transfer to PSG is not yet confirmed, but if it were to come to fruition, he would certainly be a great addition to the French team. Messi’s departure left a big void in the club, but the arrival of the Portuguese could be a big step to recover the level and continue competing at the highest level.
